Shida Manaka (Mona) / Keyakizaka46 1st Generation

Uh .. I don't think that's Manaka right?? ..

 

I can't find my words...

I just hope that she will not regret this. She could have try again before make this definitive choice but whatever it's too late now...

 

I'll miss Manaka. A lot.

 

It’s not Manaka. So there’s no “coincidence”

 

Its said AV idol .. So it's not Mona for sure ..

 

A gravure/AV label signed a new girl, people ridiculously saw a connection between Manaka graduating and that.
Am just confirming it’s not actually her.

 

In twitter a lot of people said it's Mona ..

 

no hate, but I'm glad that the BULLY of Keya just graduated.

 

"no hate" when you obviously hate her

 

I didn't miss you at all, the hate was clear already, hypocrisy was just added for the occasion?

As for the AV stuff... I saw that hypotesis this morning even before I saw the actual graduation post.... it sucks.
It sucks that after months of waiting and hoping and even sort of accepting but not fully, the first thing people can think of is Shida making AV, and making a forum account today just to post it here.
...
At least give us the time to be sad about her grad.
And in that twitter it could be a lot of girls... even my Miyuki, thought she just came back from.. wherever she was.

 

Now, after Mona's gone, who is going to catch Tecchi?

 

Risa covered for her

 

hemh...keyaki tree now have lose three of it branch (kanji). i wonder if keyaki seed (hiragana) will become branch.

 

Fuuchan

Nijika

Naako

Neru

Kyoko

 

I kind of had the feeling, like most people, that Shida would retire from kyz46. I do think that the other two graduations gave her the final push to quit the group.
The worst thing is that the three graduates have the most infectious smiles/laughters...

Seeds become offsprings, buds can become branches. Don't worry new buds are already being drafted in (sakamichi joint auditions)

 

Great work by @too much idea to get all those blogs translated. I'm going to post a pic from one of them (Kyouko's) and another old pic:



The jackals are out, in this thread and others. I'm going to try to ignore them and store up future Keyaki triumphs to remind them of at the appropriate time. I thought the Best Hits Ambivalent was fantastic, with four Hiraganas fitting right in. What the future holds is unclear, but things are looking good to me right now. Maybe things are looking good to Manaka, too, as she embarks on her new life.

EDIT: Considering the "bully" nonsense above, I can't help quoting from Neru's new blog post: "[Manaka] is kind to everyone, without distinction, with a heart that is gentle and transparent. Manaka's warmth has helped me time and again."

 

No, please no. Tell me it's not true. I was so hoping she would come back and that she would be a pillar member for like ten years. I so hoped that she would one day be double center with Watanabe Risa. Goddamnit.

Well, I respect her decision and wish her the best with all my heart. She was my oshi.

 

Does it mean that it is an immediate graduation with no grad concert ? Gonna miss her she is one of the coolest members .

 

Fuuchan's blog made me cry! She just told the exact emotions most of us are feeling.. She too held onto the hope of her comeback and we all did too at some point..

Everyone said one same thing in common.. her smile is infectious...

I hope fans dont stop loving Keyakizaka46.. Just like Fuuchan said.. we were bound to say goodbye though it was fast..

How hard is it to see the person who made you love the group , graduating?
Well,now I know...

 

That phrase about the wind, bringing us Mona and they taking her away, is very poetic.
For some reason I thought about the initial minutes of Forest Gump, with that feather in the wind.

It feels odd. She is not just one of the coolest members, but a top member as well. No grad concert, no grad song, no good-bye last handshake? It feels like she is just being tossed aside, like a piece of crumpled paper.
